Default BBs for Balance

Read lots of articles,threads and other assorted, uh "stuff" about using BBs or airsoft plastic BBs for balancing tires. Recently bought 5 used swamper 34x10.50x15s. Drove them the way they came, mounted and balanced, drove like crap. They are swampers so no suprise there so I thought I would try the airsoft BBs. 8 oz per tire and holycow they ride and drive great now. Used the chart from dynabead to get the right amount of weight to use. I would highly recommend this.

Lucky you. I've known people who've fought with beadlocks and the right amount of airsoft BBs. I got real lucky, I mounted my 38 TSLs in the driveway, no weight or BBs nothing and they ride fine at 55. Jeep itself is a bit scary but tires are fine and that's at 5psi.
